It’s a Sunshine Day!
When my oldest son was a new born, I would
hold him tight and sing to him:
“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine;
You make me happy when skies are grey, etc.”

When he got older I had to stop singing
and he is now simply known as my “Sunshine”.
You can imagine what I first thought of when I
saw the new Lost & Found 2 - Sunshine collection.
What a perfect collection to tell him about
the pure joy that he has brought to my life.
There is even a title for it!
This collection was a SMASH hit at CHA Summer.
With fantastic patterns and the color combination
of golden yellow, tan and black you can see why!
